In the first section, the discipline of health economics is defined, QALYs are presented as a tool for quantifying the condition of human health in utility units, and the factors affecting global health expenditures are examined. In the second section, an introduction is made to the discipline of pharmacoeconomics and the tools that it offers. It is also discussed how these tools can assist to optimize the economic efficiency of healthcare systems and lower pharmaceutical and, by extension, total health expenditures.
